missionTimer

[Adde]

Hello. How do I set the missionTimer only visible to the jailed person? I am using "setElementVisibleTo" to make it visible for the jailed person, but then i have to hide it for the rest of the players. I don´t know how I should target the rest of the players...

and btw, how can I finish the function "freeFromJail" and make it work? When I use setTimer(freeFromJail, 3000,1) the debug says "bad function at arg 1" or something.

function policeJob ( attacker, attackerweapon, bodypart, loss ) 
 if attacker and getElementType(attacker) == "player" then 
   theTeam = getPlayerTeam ( attacker ) 
     local wlevel = getPlayerWantedLevel( source ) 
       theSkin = getElementModel ( attacker ) 
         if (attackerweapon == 3) and (loss > 2 ) and (wlevel > 0) then 
           if  getTeamName( theTeam ) == "Police Department" or getTeamName( theTeam ) == "Staff" or getTeamName( theTeam ) == "US Army" or getTeamName( theTeam ) == "US Marines" then 
                setElementPosition ( source, 264.74, 77.69, 1001.03 ) 
                setElementInterior ( source, 6 ) 
                setElementDimension ( source, 3 ) 
                toggleControl(source, "fire", false) 
                toggleControl(source, "next_weapon", false) 
                toggleControl(source, "previous_weapon", false) 
                toggleControl(source, "aim_weapon", false) 
                toggleControl(source, "vehicle_fire", false) 
             theName = getPlayerName ( source ) 
             theCop = getPlayerName ( attacker )   
             outputChatBox ( "You have been jailed by "..theCop.. " for 5 minutes.", source ) 
             outputChatBox ( "You have jailed "..theName, attacker ) 
                            local thisreward = wlevel*kreward 
            givePlayerMoney ( attacker, thisreward ) 
            setPlayerWantedLevel ( source, 0) 
                MissionTimer = exports.missionTimer:createMissionTimer ( 300000, true, "%m:%s" , 0.5, 0.5, true, "default-bold", 5, 255, 10, 10 ) 
                setElementVisibleTo ( MissionTimer, source, true ) 
end 
end 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), policeJob) 
  
function freeFromJail() 
local time = getMissionTimerTime ( MissionTimer ) 
if ( time ) == 0 then 
 destroyElement(MissionTimer) 
 setElementPosition ( source, 264.74, 77.69, 1001.03 ) 
 setElementInterior ( source, 0 ) 
 setElementDimension ( source, 0 ) 
 toggleControl(source, "fire", true) 
 toggleControl(source, "next_weapon", true) 
 toggleControl(source, "previous_weapon", true) 
 toggleControl(source, "aim_weapon", true) 
 toggleControl(source, "vehicle_fire", true) 
end 
end

addEventHandler ( "onClientMissionTimerElapsed", MissionTimer, freeFromJail)

Edit: u need make the script client side.

[Adde]

Okay so this should work:

function freeFromJail()

local time = getMissionTimerTime ( MissionTimer )

if ( time ) == 0 then

destroyElement(MissionTimer)

setElementPosition ( source, 264.74, 77.69, 1001.03 )

setElementInterior ( source, 0 )

setElementDimension ( source, 0 )

toggleControl(source, "fire", true)

toggleControl(source, "next_weapon", true)

toggleControl(source, "previous_weapon", true)

toggleControl(source, "aim_weapon", true)

toggleControl(source, "vehicle_fire", true)

end

end

addEventHandler ( "onClientMissionTimerElapsed", MissionTimer, freeFromJail)

Do you mean both functions or just freeFromJail?

[HunT]

U no need getMissionTimerTime

onClientMissionTimerElapsed start the function if the timer is 0

Edit again: u need make the complete script client side.

Now i cant give u the example reply with iphone.

[Adde]

U no need getMissionTimerTime

onClientMissionTimerElapsed start the function if the timer is 0

Ah okay.

Now my script looks like:

client:

function setTimer() 
    MissionTimer = exports.missionTimer:createMissionTimer ( 300000, true, "%m:%s" , 0.5, 0.5, true, "default-bold", 5, 255, 10, 10 ) 
    setElementVisibleTo ( MissionTimer, source, true ) 
end 
addEvent("setMissionTimer", true) 
addEventHandler("setMissionTimer", getLocalPlayer(), setTimer) 
  
function freeFromJail() 
 destroyElement(MissionTimer) 
 setElementPosition ( source, 264.74, 77.69, 1001.03 ) 
 setElementInterior ( source, 0 ) 
 setElementDimension ( source, 0 ) 
 toggleControl(source, "fire", true) 
 toggleControl(source, "next_weapon", true) 
 toggleControl(source, "previous_weapon", true) 
 toggleControl(source, "aim_weapon", true) 
 toggleControl(source, "vehicle_fire", true) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientMissionTimerElapsed", MissionTimer, freeFromJail) 

server:

kreward = 150 
  
function policeJob ( attacker, attackerweapon, bodypart, loss ) 
 if attacker and getElementType(attacker) == "player" then 
   theTeam = getPlayerTeam ( attacker ) 
     local wlevel = getPlayerWantedLevel( source ) 
       theSkin = getElementModel ( attacker ) 
         if (attackerweapon == 3) and (loss > 2 ) and (wlevel > 0) then 
           if  getTeamName( theTeam ) == "Police Department" or getTeamName( theTeam ) == "Staff" or getTeamName( theTeam ) == "US Army" or getTeamName( theTeam ) == "US Marines" then 
                setElementPosition ( source, 264.74, 77.69, 1001.03 ) 
                setElementInterior ( source, 6 ) 
                setElementDimension ( source, 3 ) 
                toggleControl(source, "fire", false) 
                toggleControl(source, "next_weapon", false) 
                toggleControl(source, "previous_weapon", false) 
                toggleControl(source, "aim_weapon", false) 
                toggleControl(source, "vehicle_fire", false) 
             theName = getPlayerName ( source ) 
             theCop = getPlayerName ( attacker )   
             outputChatBox ( "You have been jailed by "..theCop.. " for 5 minutes.", source ) 
             outputChatBox ( "You have jailed "..theName, attacker ) 
                            local thisreward = wlevel*kreward 
            givePlayerMoney ( attacker, thisreward ) 
            setPlayerWantedLevel ( source, 0) 
            triggerClientEvent("setMissionTimer", source) 
end 
end 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), policeJob) 

So this is correct?

But I get error in debug, client.lua:19: bad argument @ addEventHandler [ expected element at argument 2, got nil. Not tested if it still works, but I will test.

The mission timer work now but maybe u have other problem in the script.

[Adde]

Still "addEventHandler [ expected element at argument 2, got nil ]"

[LonelyRoad]

What file and line?

[Sasu]

Replace getLocalPlayer() to root

[Adde]

Client:5: addEventHandler [ expected element at argument 2, got nil ]

It works to jail a person, but the timer don´t show on the screen in jail and it doesn´t even start. You never get out of jail.
